EUPOL COPPS has been aiding the Palestinian Authority (PA) since 2006 in the fields of policing and criminal justice, supporting efforts to increase security and to reinforce the rule of law within PA-controlled areas of the West Bank.

To further improve the situation in the field of domestic violence, EUPOL COPPS has been supporting the Palestinian Civil Police (PCP) Family Protection Unit in close coordination with UN Women, providing technical advice and facilitating capacity building activities.

They were in Brussels today to brief the EU Council on the latest progress achieved by EUPOL COPPS in training Palestinian police forces in further strengthening law and order in the Palestinian Territories.

Unfortunately, many individuals-both in and outside of policing-believe that the goals of the COPPS model can be achieved by merely putting officers on foot or bicycle patrol, or by opening neighborhood ministations.
